Learn to read, write and speak Japanese Hiragana & Katakana, Korean Hangul, Arabic and Chinese Mandarin in record time with Dr. Moku's bite-sized animated lessons.

Mnemonics are memory tricks that help you remember and retrieve abstract concepts.
Dr. Moku's visual and verbal mnemonics help you to learn auto-magically.

• Phrasebooks
• Offline mode
• No annoying third-party ads. Nice!
Dr. Moku's teaching method is perfect for complete beginners.
Learn the Japanese alphabets (Hiragana and Katakana) on your own and in record time. Master the Korean alphabet (Hangul) quickly and slickly with minimal effort. And we’ve just added Mandarin Chinese!

Don’t you hate when companies claim to make learning fun?
There really is nothing "fun" about learning languages.
There’s definitely satisfaction in impressing friends, passing exams, and using your language skills in the real world but the fun comes in the time you save by finding the right learning method.
Dr. Moku strives to make learning languages painless and effective so you have more time to create your own fun.
Studying sucks. Memorization stinks. Mnemonics work.
The first Dr. Moku app was published way back in 2010, it was primitive and clunky but it helped tens of thousands of people to learn Hiragana and Katakana without the pain of rote memorization.
This new app is the start of a whole new chapter. The vision is to gradually add new languages and subjects using the same mnemonic techniques.

Ratings and Reviews
Lovely App!
User-friendly interface and very pleasing to the eyes. Exercising both the right and left brains simultaneously, based on current research, is one of the most, if not the best, efficient way of solidifying new information into long-term memory. This includes learning a new language. This is the approach of the app through the use of exaggerated and novel visual and auditory mnemonics. I think the only biggest problem in this approach is if the learner cannot relate to or cannot warm up to the visual and phonetic aids chosen by the developer, then it’s gonna feel like a chore and there won’t be an incentive to memorize since it doesn’t “tickle their brain” enough to excite it into learning. If that’s the case, then the learner will have to come up with their own mnemonics that work for them, but the question there will be if they’d be bothered to go out of their way to do so. Anyway, I love the app. Thank you!
Amazing App!
I really love using this app! It has helped me so much with learning hiragana and katakana. The little stories help me to remember each character, and it has made my learning experience enjoyable.
I think this app is very well made and user friendly. All the controls are very simple and easy to use. I bought the Japanese Bundle (which was a couple dollars) and I honestly don’t regret it one bit. I would highly recommend this to anyone learning Japanese (or any of the other languages this app offers)! Thank you for making an awesome app!
Very poor mnemonics for Kana.
So I lost my “Remembering the Kana” book a while back in-between moving houses, and since I recently decided to get back into learning Japanese, I wanted to give this app a try instead of buying the book again. While it has a pretty decent flash card system, the mnemonics to learn the Kana are really bad. Like, really bad. ‘さ’, for instance, was just a random face drawn in it, which happens multiple times where there’s just a random picture with the Kana placed somewhere inside. Even with a really good imagination, the connections from the Kana to the mnemonic are far beyond stretching it. Not to mention there’s nothing given in the mnemonic to remember stroke order either. Just very disappointing, as this was recommended by someone else.
